System Partitioning
Single Domain
•
Cannot be partitioned.
•
A single-domain system contains:
−
Its own power, cooling, and maintenance interface
−
Its own master clock
Dual Domain
Single Monolithic Partition
•
The combined domains function as a monolithic system.
•
Each domain contains a separate power subsystem and maintenance interface.
• • • •
Cooling is shared between domains.
•
Although each domain contains a master clock, only one master clock is used by the
partition.
Two Separate Partitions
•
Each partition functions as an independent system.
•
The partitions cannot share resources.
•
Each partition must include at least one PM, one IOM, and one MSU.
•
Each domain contains a separate power subsystem and shared cooling, regardless of
the division of resources among partitions.
•
Each partition uses a separate master clock and has a separate maintenance interface,
regardless of the division of resources among domains.
